Troop Surge To Be Announced Next Week?

Via Drudge comes vaguely supported word from the BBC that President Bush is figuring on announcing a troop boost in Iraq.

Its central theme will be sacrifice.

The speech, the BBC has been told, involves increasing troop numbers.

Recall in mid-December that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), along with other honchos in that deliberative body, signalled thumbs up to a "temporary" troop increase and maybe there you have it.
